The Watchers - by Chillymanjaro - July 1, 2013
System 96E in Eastern Pacific became a tropical depression late on June 29, 2013 and quickly grew into Tropical Storm Dalila early on June 30, 2013.
According to latest public advisory issued by US National Hurricane Center (NHC) at 21:00 UTC on June 30, 2013, the center of TS Dalila was located near 16.2, -103.7, about 195 miles (320 km) SSE of Manzanillo, Mexico with movement NNW at 9 mph (15 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center. The minimum central pressure was 1003 mb (29.62 inches) with maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph (65 km/h). Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Dalila is moving north-northwestward and a gradual turn toward the northwest is expected during the next 24 hours, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest at a slower forward speed. The center is expected to pass close to the southwestern coast of Mexico, from Punta San Telmo to la Fortuna on July 1, 2013.
